ADVERTISING- DISPLAY D'EVICE.

Application filed November 24, 1919. Serial No. 340,083.

To all whom it may conce'rn Be it known that I, FRE:) VV.l S'ARGENT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brockton in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Advertising Display Devices, of which the following is 'a specification. f

This inventon has for its object to provide a simple, relatively inexpensive and attractive device, adapted to be engaged with a support, such as the neck of a bottle, and display advertisingmatter above said suport. ,i .T p The invention is embodied -in the improved display device hereinafter described and claned. i]

Of the accompanyi'ng drawings forming a part of this 'specificat1on,-

Figure I is 'a side view of a display device embody-ing the invention, as it appears when not in use. f

i Fig. 2 is a side viewshowing the device ap lied to a bottle neck.

g. 3 is va ,perspective vewvof the device as adapted fonuse.

The same v,r'e'ie'rence characters indicate the same parts in'allof the figures.

From sheet material, such as paper of sufficient thickness to be normally flat, I cut a body comprising a display portion 12, and a wing which includes a central portion 13, joined to and projecting from one edge -of the'central portion, and two end portions 14,'

projecting oppositely from theA central porton, and adapted to be bent and connectedl to form, with the centralportion, a tubular said sleeve being e'lnbrace a bottle of suliicient diam'eter neck'l. The displa preferably integral with' O; elf-z,- r

I prefer to connect-.theend portions-14: by cutting in e ch' a slit 16, lone slit extending from the uper edge, and the other from the lower edge of the end portion in-which it is formed, said slits enabling the end'portions to be interlocked, as shown by Fig. 3.

That part of the sleeve whichv is formed 'by' A ,andwing are the central portion 13 is in substantially the" same plane With the display portion '12, the end portions being flexed from said plane, and the arrangement being such that, when the sleeve is connected with a bottle neck, the display portion 12 is held in a substantially vertical plane at one side of, and projecting above the bottle neck, so that advertising matter on the display portion isconspicuously displayed in a vertical plane in a space above a bottle which' is on exhibition..

Advertising matter may be applied to one or both sides of the display portion, and to i the outer side of the wing. v

It will be seen by reference'to Fig. 1, that the displayportion 12 is considerably wider above the wing formed by the portions 13 and 14 than at its junction with said wing, so that the display portion is not flexed by the operation of bending the winginto sleeve form, and remains substantially flat.

I -claim'z I As. an advertising display device, a nor,-

mally flat body of Sheet material having a display portion and a wing, said wing including a central portion `oined to, and projecting from one edge of t e display portion, and end'portions projecting oppositely from said central portion, and adapted to be bent tion, a -tubular sleeve, adapted to surround a bottle neck, the display portion being'- formed to project wholly from one edge of said' sleeve, and to stand beside and project in a substantially vertical plane above -the neck to which the sleeve is applied, so that advertising matter may be conspicuously displayed in a vertical plane, in space above a bottle on exhibition, the display portion beingf-wider abovethe wing than at its junction with the wing, so that the display portion is not flexed by the operation of bending thewing to form a sleeve.

,Inltemstimony whereof I have aifixed my signatirer'` i FEED w. SARGENT.
